Psalmowo 72
1 Ha na Solomo. O! Mawu, tsɔ wò afia nyui tsotso do na fia la, kple wò dzɔdzɔenyenye na fiavi la.
[By Solomon.] God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2 Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na wò dukɔ la le dzɔdzɔenyenye me, eye wòatso afia nyui na ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la.
He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3 Towo atsɔ kesinɔnuwo vɛ na wò dukɔ, eye togbɛwo atsɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe kutsetse vɛ na wo.
The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 Aʋli ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la ta, axɔ na hiãtɔwo ƒe viwo, eye wòagbã ameteɖetola la nyanyanya.
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5 Zi ale si ɣe kple ɣleti li la, anɔ te le dzidzimewo katã me.
They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Anɔ abe tsidzadza ɖe anyigba si dzi woƒo gbe le kple agbafie si dza ɖe anyigba hede tsii ene.
He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Ame dzɔdzɔewo ayi ŋgɔ le eƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me, eye kesinɔnuwo ado agbogbo va se ɖe esime ɣleti magaɖi o.
In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8 Aɖu fia tso atsiaƒu ƒe go sia dzi ayi go kemɛ dzi, tso tɔsisi to ase ɖe anyigba la ƒe mlɔenuwo ke.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
9 Dukɔ siwo le gbegbe la ade ta agu nɛ, eye eƒe futɔwo aɖuɖɔ ʋuʋudedi.
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Tarsis fia kple didiƒe ƒutatɔwo ahe adzɔ vɛ nɛ, eye Sieba kple Seba fiawo atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ.
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Fiawo katã ade ta agu nɛ, eye dukɔwo katã asubɔe,
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 elabena aɖe hiãtɔ si le avi fam kple wɔmenɔ si xɔnametɔ aɖeke meli na o.
For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13 Akpɔ nublanui na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye wòaɖe ame dahewo tso ku me.
He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14 Aɖe wo le teteɖeanyi kple ŋutasesẽ me, elabena woƒe ʋu xɔ asi le eŋkume.
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 Fia la nenɔ agbe tegbee! Wonetsɔ Seba sika nɛ. Amewo nedo gbe ɖa ɖe eta ɖaa, eye wòayra ŋkeke blibo la.
And he shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to him. Men shall pray for him continually. He shall bless him all day long.
16 Bli nedo agbogbo ɖe anyigba la katã dzi; eye neʋã ɖe togbɛwo katã dzi. Blitiawo netri abe Lebanontɔwo ene, eye woanɔ abe gbe le gbedzi ene.
There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 Eƒe ŋkɔ nenɔ anyi ɖaa, eye nenɔ anyi zi ale si ɣe le keklẽm. Woayra dukɔwo katã to eya amea dzi, eye woayɔe be yayratɔ.
His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18 Woakafu Yehowa Mawu, Israel ƒe Mawu la, eya ame si ko wɔa nu dzɔatsuwo.
Praise be to YHWH, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Woakafu eƒe ŋkɔ si ŋu ŋutikɔkɔe le la tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me; eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe neyɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Blessed be his glorious name forever. Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen.
20 Esiawo wu Yese ƒe vi, David ƒe gbedodoɖawo nu.
This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
